Albert Barnes Commentary
"What man is he that feareth Jehovah? Him shall he instruct in the way that he shall choose." — Psalms 25:12 (ASV)
What man is he - Who is he. The statement in this verse is intended to include every man, or to be universal. Wherever one is found who has the character here referred to, or whoever he may be, what is affirmed here will be true of him: that God will lead him in the way that he shall choose.
That feareth the Lord - That is, a true worshipper of Yahweh, or a truly pious man (Psalms 5:7). Him shall he teach. He will guide or instruct him. .
In the way that he shall choose - The way that the person ought to choose; or, in other words, in the right way. It is not the way that God will choose, but the way that the pious person ought to choose: God will so instruct him that he will find the true path.
